Belvedere now being Greater London from 1965 but was part of Kent prior to that, I will be focussing my research on Kent itself, but as the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation. All emails are answered.

 

I have also seen this establishment addressed as in Erith.

I am informed by Jim Packer author of the "Lost Pubs of Bexley" that the pub was definitely serving in 1869, possibly as early as 1865. Finally closed on the 29th June 1982.
